            <h1>Setting network components properties</h1>

            <p>In this part of the tutorial, we will set <b>parameters of cables and components</b>.</p>
            
            <p>Settings will be shown on the following network:</p>

            <h2>Component properties</h2>
            
            <p>You can access component properties by clicking <b>Right mouse button</b> on the component and
                selecting <b>Properties</b> in the popup menu:</p>

            <h3>Properties of Routers and End devices</h3>
            
            <p>In properties of  routers and End devices you cen set <b>Device name</b>, <b>MAC address</b>, <b>IP address</b> 
                and <b>Is up</b> (turned on).</p>
            
            <p><b>MAC address</b> is generated <b>automatically</b>. Example of component properties follows:</p>

            <h3>Switch properties</h3>
            
            <p>In switch properties we set only the <b>Device name</b>. The rest of the dialog contains information
                about connected components.</p>
